Beginning with the immigration of the “Georgia Salzburgers,” religious exiles from Europe, The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia tells a story of faith and struggle that is deeply embedded in the religious and cultural life of the American colonial South. Previously unpublished and untranslated, Hermann Winde’s dissertation laid the foundation for a limited group of scholars and specialists who have continued to develop that story for over four decades. Now, both the detail that emerges through Winde’s primary sources and the breadth of the connections he makes across colonial Georgia’s geographical and cultural landscape will continue to appeal to scholars and general readers alike as they enter the world of Georgia’s first Lutheran communities.
On the impact of the war on Ebenezer, see Winde, The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia, 76–78; see also Melton, Religion, Community, and Slavery on the Colonial Southern Frontier, 292–94.
